white on white

Week 2 of the collage project and I have just the one collage to share this week for the theme of WHITE. Lots of layers though, exploring tones of white on white ...

My collage is 5 x 5 inches on heavy duty watercolour paper.

Layered with torn vintage book pages, white washed text, several layers of tissue paper and embellished with torn paper lace, texture washed up on the beach and a vintage mother of pearl button with original thread still attached.

Evelyn has already posted her collages, three in all, if you would like to take a look and our next prompt is "black and white" which I'm looking forward to.

Also this week ... I've had a tidy up in my studio, mainly going through piles of textile work and have organised into "do-able" piles. I've started adding stitches to some winter hearts and I've also glued in some sketchbook pieces, so I'm really enjoying the pace of things at the moment.

Thank you for your comments on last week's five minute winter collages. I very much enjoyed making them. Till next time ... x

Hi Carolyn!I am coming from Evelyn's blog. I love the project you are both working on and wanted to be able to see yours also. I LOVE white, and every shade of it. These are wonderful! I especially love the one with your name on it. Thank you for sharing!

Collage is a technique that seems to elude me - I always end up with something that looks like a dog's breakfast (well, truthfully - a dog's breakfast looks a whole lot better!). I always admire your work - you have a knac! I love the words 'For honour...not honours" in this one.

THANK YOU FOR VISITING ME HERE

Currently I post my weekly collages for The Collage Workbook project on a Wednesday. I'm also continuing to work on my samples for the Surface Treatment Workshop and will share from time to time. My first love is textiles and I'm working on some personal projects at present. I shall get back to sharing textiles and free tutorials again in the future.

SHOP NEWS - I'm sorry that my online etsy shop is closed for the foreseeable future. I'm unable to take custom orders or reply to messages and enquiries at this time. I hope to re-open in the future but, for health reasons, I am taking a break from selling my work. I would like to thank each and every one of my customers for their kindness and loyalty. I will let you know when the shop is open again. Thank you.
